Nabarangpur (Odisha): In a bid to create basic infrastructures in rural areas hit by Maoist activities, around Rs 12 crore has been provided for Odisha's Nabarangpur under Integrated Action Plan (IAP) during the current fiscal.

With an expenditure of Rs 1 crore, ten dry sheds will be constructed in all the Maoist infested blocks of Raighar, Umerkote and Jharigam blocks to enable rural farmers to keep their produces safely.

Similarly a project for construction of ten godowns in all ten blocks has also been?approved for which Rs 1.20 crore will be spent, sources said.

??? For improvement in health sector, solar power systems will be installed in 15 rural health centres by spending around Rs 14 lakh for uninterrupted power supply.

Besides, to provide better connectivity, concrete roads will be constructed linking the rural health centres.
